huh?? You have an 18:9 phone, you "unfold" it and you get 18:18.

Why would both the phone and tablet mode need to be 18:9, I don't get it?

I've seen people comment on these articles asking why the aspect ratios were so weird, and why not 18:9 for both? Perhaps, they were just joking, who knows?

Regardless, an 18:18 screen can only show 18:9 content at the same size as an 18:9 screen can.
